Re: 2018 Recruiting List

Could be a big day for the Jacks as there are many prospects on campus for the first of two "Elite Camps". Lots of testing and drills that give the coaches an idea of a players measurables. I saw a stat, but I can't find it now, that showed a super high percentage (80%+) of players who eventually sign with us also attended one of the elite camps.

Re: 2018 Recruiting List

I'm changing things up on the page 1 list. After following Kemo's lead of having twitter links with players, I've decided to add the players twitter links directly to their name. In the past we've had their names linked to a Rivals/247/ESPN website that highlighted the their recruitment. I've found this year that while our staff is making more offers to higher profiled players, less players are getting links from the web services. Moreover, if you really want to find out the latest on a player, their twitter account is the best source. Finally, our staff has made so many offers that I'm already exceeding the number of characters on each page 1 post. So many offers = so much information. In all likelihood, I will likely start eliminating the Rivals/247/ESPN links.

Let me know your thoughts if you like or dislike this change. I've made changes to the commits and offensive player offers posts. It will take some more time to make changes to the defensive player list. (Ate up my lunch break making the other changes.)

Thanks for keeping up. Seems like we are looking everywhere for people to play football.

Damn. Fleck is paying attention to Minnesota. Not saying we would have landed any of the three who have recently verballed to the Gophers but I don't see as many mid-level prospects escaping Minnesota. This will have an impact on NDSU, SDSU, and UND's recruiting.
